Am I the only one NOT insanely excited about this movie coming out? Apparently since Arclight Cinemas is doing a special screening of The Da Vinci Code at 6am in 2K digital projection in its famous dome theater. Crazies showing up that early will get an “exclusive” The Da Vinci Code t-shirt for their troubles….

It’s that time of year again: L.A. Conservancy’s screenings of classic movies in classic movie theaters. This year from May 31 to July 5, L.A.’s historic preservation organization will focus on L.A.-centric films in Broadway’s historic theatre district as an homage to our lovely City of Angels.

L.A. Connection's Night of the Living Dead: Laugh Until You Drop…Dead!
Aren’t zombies funny? They walk really slow, have no real strength and yet many people have died at their decrepit hands which, oddly enough, can easily rip the living to pieces. So it seems like a natural fit that comedy improv company L.A. Connection–responsible for SNL alum Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan and Jon Lovitz–will be…
Fast Times at Ridgemont High Screening at the Skirball
Before Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, there was Jeff Spicoli. Before American Pie there was Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This classic to be appreciated and handed down to our children for generations to come has served as a social commentary on teen angst, an Everyman tale through high school and a jumping off point for…

Arclight Cinemas: 2 Film Buffs for the Price of 1
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the Arclight is the best movie theater in all of La-la Land. It’s a church of film for those serious about movie watching. They won’t let slackers in after the previews start, ushers are on hand to show you to your seat or tell…
Blood, Mayhem and Twins! The Shining at the Arclight
“Come play with us!” I really think it must suck to be a kid right now, with everyone trying to shield you from all the evil in the world. They won’t let you watch cartoons, music videos or scary movies for fear that you’ll go out and try and take out your little brother. Growing…
Film Complaint: Match Point
“Was that just as bad for you as it was for me?” My friend Bee had access to a preview copy of Match Point so we did a movie night in with hors d’oeuvres and key lime pie martinis. Thing is we shouldn’t have picked a Woody Allen movie turned thriller for our Friday night…
Metropolis Screening at the Orpheum: Experience Life Before Talkies
The Los Angeles Theatre Organ Society presents a special silent film event in partnership with the Broadway Initiative of the Los Angeles Conservancy. Watch silent movie classic, Metropolis, at the famed Orpheum Theatre in Downtown L.A. Yes, that would be the same theater where little Judy Garland got her start doing vaudeville. Who’s Judy Garland?…
Film Review: Brokeback Mountain
I left my heart on Brokeback Mountain, a cross between The Lucky Texan and The Thorn Birds. Warning: Spoiler to follow. I knew what to expect before I saw this movie, having read many reviews and Annie Proulx’s short story. But I took for granted how a well-done book-turned-movie can fill in blanks for me…
